Radio install advice
I removed my original Blaupunkt stuttgart, and wondering what I need to do to install my new Blaupunkt Toronto. Any ideas?

If your original harness is uncut, then it should just plug in.
|
Really? I will take a few pics in a few. getting motivated to go out in garage.
|
All the blaus I've seen use an early vw/audi/porsche style connector. I'm not sure if this is a standard euro connector or what.

Just went out in my house pants to take a few pics. Wanted to post this tonight in hopes that I will wake up to some advice. Here are pics of new radio and old radio, and a pic on new Blaupunkt Toronto with the plugs that came with it plugged in. Also what is in the dash for connections/wires. It appears I may just have to do some color coded splicing unless there is a adapter online somewhere. So what do you electronics experts think I should I do?
So sick of pics flipping when I post. Annoying. |
Sorry, my car came with the harness already cut, thanks to some genius. I guess the early p cars have a different plug. You need a harness adapter if you don't want to cut your harness.
I found this one, but this will only do the power, you still need an adapter to the factory amp plug. http:// http://www.crutchfield.com/S...e-Harness.html |
Even if the harness had not been cut, pretty sure the old plug would not fit your your new unit. There should be a wiring diagram that came with your unit that should show you how to wire/splice in your new plug.(use male-female connectors). Your new unit has a built on amp, so you can get rid of the pre-amp under the passenger seat. This is also a good place to splice your speaker wires.

Splice the wires under the seat as you remove the amp? And splice in dash and be done with it? Sounds easy.

I did the Toronto 420 BT and a Rockford Fosgate RF Punch BRT4ch-MAN that fits perfectly under the seat where the Porsche Amp is.
Toronto 420 is much better than my previous Bahamas MP46 and I just love the Amplifier. I believe you can find wiring adapters for HU & Amp at Becker USA (NJ) or maybe still at Crutchfield. I used the HU adapter and rewired the amp. Let me know if you need any help with both. |
92 targa do you remember what adapters you bought? I have no idea what to buy. Radios are not my thing. And did you need to get a new amp? Sounds like it is not needed.

I'd go with what Vadint suggested - best sound ever!

How well does the Toronto 420 BT lighting match the 964 at night?

Not sure yet. Been focused on this spoiler/ no soeedo lights issue
